Reimagining Dashboard Connections: Skykit + Microsoft SharePoint Integration

Discover how Skykit's SharePoint integration transforms digital signage with efficient document sharing and real-time updating without complexity.

Skykit + Microsoft SharePoint Integration

When it comes to digital signage with content management systems, dashboard integration is often associated with real-time KPIs and numerical data. But at Skykit, we’re expanding the horizons of what a dashboard can be—especially when integrated with Microsoft SharePoint. This powerful combination of technologies offers new possibilities for information sharing and workflow efficiency.

Understanding the Microsoft SharePoint Integration

SharePoint is a versatile Microsoft 365 tool that serves as a centralized platform for document management, collaboration, and information sharing within organizations. It allows teams to store, organize, and access files from anywhere—making it an essential part of many companies’ digital ecosystems.

Beyond Traditional Dashboards

While many of our customers have used Skykit Dashboard Connections to focus on metrics and KPIs, Skykit’s integration with SharePoint opens up even more opportunities to easily share business-critical information on any display:

• Efficient Document Presentation | Instead of manually uploading and updating individual files, Skykit’s SharePoint integration allows for seamless display of documents that change periodically. This could include PDFs, Word files, or other regularly updated documents.
• Easy Real-Time Updates | Once a SharePoint document is connected to Skykit, any changes made to the file are automatically reflected on the display. This eliminates the need for constant manual updates of files.
• Expanded User Base | SharePoint integration allows more team members to contribute to displayed content without needing direct access to Skykit. They can simply update the SharePoint document, and the changes will appear on the screens.
  Practical Applications

Consider this scenario: A HR department manager wants to display the percentage of employees who have completed their open enrollment. Instead of creating a complex dashboard or manually updating a file inside the Content Management System, they can:

1. Create their document in SharePoint.
2. Update it as needed.

From that point on, any updates to the SharePoint document will automatically be able to appear on their Skykit displays.

Security and Accessibility

Skykit’s SharePoint integration maintains a high level of security while improving accessibility:

• Dashboard Connections are authenticated on the Media Players that reside on the customer’s network.
• Skykit doesn’t store screenshots or download data; it simply displays a live view of the SharePoint document.

This approach is ideal for organizations dealing with sensitive data, as it provides secure, real-time updates without compromising information.

Rethinking Workflow and Efficiency

Skykit’s integration with Microsoft SharePoint represents a significant step forward in how organizations can share and display information. By rethinking what a dashboard can be, we’re opening up new possibilities for efficient, secure, and dynamic content management.

Whether you’re sharing HR updates, project statuses, or any other frequently changing information, the Skykit-SharePoint connection offers a streamlined solution that adapts to your organization’s needs, allowing you to:

• Streamline your content update process.
• Reduce the number of steps needed to display current information.
• Empower more team members to contribute to displayed content.
• Maintain security while improving information accessibility.
